How Essays.ph Saved Me

Working for Essays.ph opened doors to many
possibilities.

I started writing at an early age. During my grade
school days I began scribbling words and phrases in my notebook. Interest in poetry
and essay writing surfaced later on when I found myself charmed by rhyming
words.

When I was in high school, I was a shy and soft-spoken
adolescent. One who scampered to catch up with everyone else and a scaredy-cat for
lengthy discussion. When I stammered at almost every word I tried to say, my
last resort was to do what I thought I could do best – I write.

Time passed, writing ended up as just one of my many
passions. Love for food prevailed when I had to decide for a course in college.
Passion for writing remained. However, taking a backseat when I’m preoccupied
with kitchen work and experiments. Infusion
of ingredients in each gastronomic encounter won my amusement. I awed those
powerful tiny herbs and dishes bursting with flavor.

Unexpectedly, my pleasant career turned sour. An
overwhelming negativity shoved me to a detour. I was led to one place – job
searching site. I didn’t know what to look for. There were job postings in the
same line of work I’m into. A few minutes before leaving the office, I bumped
into Essays.ph. I haven’t heard of Essays.ph until that rainy afternoon I was
banging my fingers on the keyboard. Then, my eyes got glued to these two words:
Freelance Writer. Will I pass for a...writer?

I totally doubted myself. All I know is my job is
frustrating. In the back of my mind, I have a clear picture of what’s waiting
for me in the undersized room I call home. I’ll be faced with a mountain of
laundry, kids waiting for mommy to help them with their homework, a hubby expecting
for dinner, dishes waiting to be washed and a room that has to be cleaned.
Life. How I wish life could have been simpler or at least kinder to a tired
working mom like me.

After long hours of staring at the monitor, I
applied for the job. Some thought Essays.ph is a spam. So, I searched for
reviews about the site. I came across positive comments from writers connected
to this online writing community. Those writers confessed through forums and
blog sites that they are satisfied with the salary they’re getting. So, I patiently
read the Essays.ph Onine Manual and prayed to pass the exam. I felt an
overpowering desire to start writing again.

I failed in the final exam. The part where I have to
write a 500-word essay about Forex. I researched before I wrote my piece but it
wasn’t good enough. So right then, I thought, I must give it another try.

After the second try? Yes, I made it! I became a
Freelance Writer. On that day, I found my bearing again. I realized no one can
make me feel inferior if I won’t allow them to. Thank you Essays.ph, you saved
me.

I've heard about this company too. May I know how much they pay their writers, what sort of articles are written and how many articles can you write in a daily basis? If you have time please email me at inlovewithsunflower@yahoo.com.

I've read of good as well as bad reviews from this site. What really stopped me from pursuing to sign up is the writing assignments like that topic you've mentioned. I want to be more free-spirited in writing...getting to choose topics on my turf rather than being given a writing assignment. I tried that one time and writing seemed awkward like that.

I applied in Essays.Ph a long time ago. I still receive some emails from them until but after my first set of essays I haven't written for them again. At the time, i thought the pay was too low per essay, considering the effort it took.But maybe I should give it another shot?

i used to be a freelance writer and got clients from a forum site. the pay was good and money started rolling in until peso-dollar exchange rate drop. so does the rate from clients too. how much is their rate btw?
